Speaking
after the announcement Dara Kearney, Chef d’Equipe for Team Ireland
Equestrian's Para Equestrian team, said that the riders were really
looking forward to the games.

“Obviously it is very disappointing
for the riders who did not make the team and it was a very close call
with some riders missing out very narrowly. The team will be going to
the three star competition in Hartpury in the UK next week as part of
the preparation for the games which will be an ideal dry run for London”
she said.

"On behalf of the whole squad I'd like to thank everyone who supported us on our journey to this milestone," she added.

The Para Equestrian dressage competition takes place in Greenwich Park London from August 30th to September 4th.
